How to improve the effectiveness of parents' participation in parent-child activities

Parent-child activities, as the name implies, are a series of activities that parents and children participate in and cooperate with each other. It helps to promote emotional communication between parents and children. An ancient Greek philosopher once said that feelings are accumulated through communication. The sublimation of any kind of feelings depends on communication. Blood is thicker than water. Although the love between parents and children is innate, parent-child activities are conducive to the healthy growth of children's body and mind. Parent-child activities can help parents establish a sense of ownership and stimulate parents to actively cooperate with kindergartens and teachers; It can also promote the healthy development of parent-child relationship; It is a good way for parents to go into kindergartens and understand their educational philosophy. Moreover, parent-child activities can build a communication bridge between children and parents, teachers and parents, so that they can communicate closely with each other. So how can parents participate in parent-child activities more effectively, instead of simply letting parents play with their babies and go through the motions? I think this is something that must be considered and studied in parent-child activities.

First, stimulate the enthusiasm of parents to participate in activities and establish their sense of ownership.

At present, many parents are too busy to think about their children. They think that children can be educated by teachers in kindergartens, and they rarely ask about all aspects of children in kindergartens. Parents often say to teachers, "Teacher, we usually have no time to take care of him. Old people are taking care of him. Please help us teach him more "He" teacher, he is not good at home at all. Please tell me about him. " Completely unaware of their responsibilities and obligations, lack of awareness of participating in early childhood education. Carrying out parent-child activities can help busy parents build a sense of ownership and share the responsibility of educating their children with teachers. Before the start of the semester, according to the plan, we first held a parent-teacher conference for the new semester to systematically teach parents the knowledge of scientific parenting according to the needs of different parents, and introduced some problems that parents should pay attention to when interacting with their children at home, such as: all questions raised by children should be answered patiently and frankly and taken seriously; Let children do more things within their power; Take the child to play where he is interested; Help children interact with children from different social classes; Follow reasonable standards of behavior and pay attention to let children follow them; Let children think independently; Take children's personal requirements seriously; Allow children to play with all kinds of harmless garbage; Encourage children to find problems and then solve them; Evaluate your feelings for your children honestly; Give children a chance to really make their own decisions; Encourage children to try not to rely on adults and so on. At the same time, we will introduce to parents that this school year we will focus on parent-child activities in combination with the age characteristics of children and the characteristics of kindergartens, so that parents can know the parent-child activities we will implement every month in time, so that parents can cooperate in a targeted manner. Ask parents for parent-child activities, ask parents to actively cooperate and participate in activities, and play an exemplary role for children. Because only parents show a positive attitude, children will imitate their parents and actively participate in activities.

Second, carry out emotional experience activities for new parents and children.

In the past, we only conducted a questionnaire survey for freshmen to get familiar with children through questionnaires. However, the children in the first class show more crying, and parents begin to become anxious when they see their children crying. Some parents insist on spending a long time with their children and refuse to leave, making them more passive when adapting to the new life in kindergarten. In these two semesters, we adopted the emotional experience activities of freshmen's parents and found that the effect was very good. Accompanied by their parents, the children happily took the initiative to participate in kindergarten activities and became familiar with the kindergarten environment, teachers and daily life. Parents also saw our colorful activities to reassure children, let them actively adapt to the new environment and gradually stop crying.

Let parents be teaching assistants in the emotional experience activities of freshmen, so that children's routine and habit cultivation can be implemented. In the past, many routines and habits were taught to children by teachers, which was inefficient and ineffective. However, through the emotional experience activities of new parents and children, we try to let parents be teachers together, assist teachers to guide children to wash their hands, go to the toilet, use towels, help themselves with biscuits and milk, and put toys accordingly. Let parents change from watching to guiding their children, and parents can give one-on-one guidance, so that children's routines can be effectively implemented in this short two-and-a-half-day activity, and the efficiency and effect are greatly improved. In the next day's parent-child emotional experience, we let parents know that their task today is to encourage their children to go to the toilet, wash their hands and wipe towels, so that children can get exercise, so that parents can see the gradual progress of our education, feel more at ease and trust teachers. On the third day, the progress of the babies has been very obvious. Some regular toilets and snacks make perfect, and parents are very happy.

Compared with the children who used to teach new courses, I found the significance of parent-child emotional experience activities at the beginning of school, and came to the conclusion that teachers must have methods in activities in order to receive good results.

Third, guide parents to effectively participate in parent-child activities in various forms.

Parent-child activities set up a part of parental guidance, mainly mentioning some parents in appropriate places: Why should we do this? Why do you want to arrange this activity? How to participate in children's games? How to guide him instead of acting as body double? How to continue this activity after returning home? What's good for children? This part of the arrangement is a kind of guidance and refinement for parents, rather than simply participating in a parent-child activity. It's gone after it's over, but it's as simple as parents playing with their babies. For example, at the end of the parent-child activity "Little Blue and Yellow", I made the following "exhortation" to my parents: "Today's activities can also be carried out at home. At home, children can play with graffiti, give them colored pens and let them draw freely. At this time, it is not necessary for children to draw anything, but to make them interested in colors. At the same time, the process of graffiti is also a process of exercising the small muscles of children's hands. The game "parent-child dribbling" is also a very good activity. Parents and friends can also play with their children at home. They can not only use balls as props, but also use other substitutes, such as toys and sandbags. Doing more exercise with children can not only enhance the affection between parents and children, but also promote the sports development and physical development of children. Dancing with children often can promote the development of baby's forehead vestibule. Parents can do this activity with their baby when they are free. "

Individual communication with parents after parent-child activities is also very important. Through individual communication, explain the intention of the activity to parents again, exchange views with parents on the activity, and answer the confusion parents encounter in family education. At the same time of communication, you can also tell parents what to pay attention to in parent-child activities: if you can't obey your child blindly, you should give necessary guidance; Parents should not be too conscious, but should establish a friend relationship with their children; Don't always write empty promises. If you can't do it, don't cheat your child and don't let your child ask too many conditions. Don't make too many horizontal comparisons between your own children and other people's children, and make your own children useless and look farther; Don't expect too much of your child's future, put forward too high requirements, and look at your child's future development realistically.

In order to train their children well and prevent them from losing at the starting line, some parents often learn and absorb good educational knowledge and parenting experience, and they have become half a parenting expert. In response to this phenomenon, we provided a platform for parents to communicate, launched the "Kissing Baby Salon" and established several topics of interest to parents, such as: 1. How to cultivate the baby's language expression ability? 2. How to improve your baby's awareness of rules? 3. How to improve your baby's communication skills? 4. How to cultivate the baby's self-care ability? Discuss in the form of a tea party. Every parent chooses a topic that interests him, and freely forms a discussion group to talk about his children. Then I'll introduce some good parenting methods to you. Through this conversation, parents can communicate with each other, learn from each other and discuss the "parenting classics" together. At the same time, it also gives our teachers a deeper understanding of children and parents, laying a certain foundation for future parenting education.

A scholar once said: "Parents are children's first teachers, and teachers are children's second parents." It can be seen that family education, like school education, plays a vital role in children's growth. Carrying out parent-child activities satisfies children's emotional needs for their parents' attachment and parents' desire to know about their children's collective life. At the same time, it is a good form to further strengthen the relationship between teachers and parents and implement synchronous education at home. In the most important period when children are 0-3 years old, parenting education has become the key. Parents, as children's closest first teachers, should be good at focusing on their children's physical and psychological characteristics, seize their interests, choose the right time, master the guiding skills and methods, and let their children get the best education in body and mind from the beginning of their lives, for their later lives.
